Add 30 seconds to the time with PHP

Question

How can I add 30 seconds to this time?

$time = date(\"m/d/Y h:i:s a\", time());

I wasn\'t sure how to do it because it is showing lots of diffe

Answer 1

You could solve this with a bit different perspective. First, you can create a current datetime object. Then, you create a future datetime which is 30 seconds later then your given datetime. So it boils down to the following:

(new Future(
    new Now(),
    new NSeconds(30)
))
    ->value();

If you want to output in a specific format you've mentioned, it can be achieved with

(new ISO8601Formatted(
    new Future(
        new Now(),
        new NSeconds(30)
    ),
    'm/d/Y h:i:s a'
))
    ->value()
